been having this problem for several days now about my apple pen (gen 1) pressure problem. i’ve tried everything such as changing the nib and recharging to 100 percent. as you can see in the video, it only responds to the pencil if i press semi hard but there’s no pressure sensitivity, yet reacts no problem with my finger making light strokes. i just want to know if it’s my ipads problem or the pencil so i don’t waste money

Pressure is sensed by the Pencil itself - not the iPad. As such, if pressure sensitivity is an issue, the fault lies with the Pencil.
Ensure that the user-replaceable Pencil tip is snugly screwed into position; when fitted correctly you should see a tiny gap, of about the thickness of a sheet of paper, between the tip and pencil body. If slightly loosened, or overtightened, the Pencil may not work properly, if at all.
If you need assistance, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be able to test and assess your iPad and Pencil:

Apple Store employees will be glad to help/assist you.
Best of Luck to You!
